Application filed July 2,1927. Serial No. 208,043.

This invention relates to improvements in non-transterable checks.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive form ofcheck adapted to be used a non-transferable hi, or dance check and foranalogous purposes and uses wherein the check is tobe attached to agarment or supporting article in such a manner that it cannot be removedwithout destroying an int 'ral portion thereof.

In the drawi I Figure l is a view of a coat having my inn pro ed checkapplicdthereto in a position for use.

Figure 2 is a View of one tor-n1 oltiny iniproved check as it iscustomarily marketed.

Figure 3 is a similar view showing a inedified construction. v

Figure 4 is a view of the check shownin Figure 3 it appears when thetape has been secured to theholder zt'both ends.

Figure 5 is a View showing a third 1110(il fication in which anindependent piece of tape may be applied.

Like parts are identified by the same re erence characters throughoutthe sever views. I

A. tape holder is employed which comprises pair'of discs and 11,preferably made of paper, having gunimed inner surfaces. A piece of tape12 may be inserted'between the two discs or sheets of paper'lO and 11 asshown in Figure 2- and the surfaces gunnned together upon and about thetape and throughout approximately one-halt of the inner face of eachdisc. 'lh two discs may be left separated throughout their other haltportions as clearly shown in Figure 2, and the tape 12 may have itsopposite cndenused in a metallic sheathing 13. i i hen it is desired touse the check. the tape is passed through a button hole or othersuitable aper ture iii the article to which the check is to he i d andthe extremity 13 turned backlluntil a portion of the tape l2can bepassed between the unsealed halt portions and the latter gunnncdtogether to hold the tape in position as shown in Figure For greatersecurity, the discs and the end portions of the tape 12 may be alsosecured together by eyelets 15 as shown in Figures.

In Figure 8, the tape 12 has one end portion permanently secured to thediscs and the 'dlv in the direction of the discs 10 and" discspermanently connected together at one side by an eyelet 15, the otherhalves of the two discs being left unconnected preparatory to theinsertion of the tape 12 between then],

whereupon they will be guinn'ied together,

in Figure 5, I have illustrated two similar discs, 10 and 10" which areintegrally con nected along a folding line 17. When these discs arefolded, they may be used in the same manner as the discs 10 and 11, oneend of a piece of tape such as the tape 12 being first inserted betweenthe two discs near the foldingline and the other end insertedbetween thediscs on the opposite side. whereupon the two discs or sheets will. havetheir inner surfaces guninied together in the same niannor asillustrated in the other views.

While I have referred to thesheets 10 and 11 as discs, it will beunderstood that they may be of any suitable torn: and they may materialca aable 01 having inner surfaces guninied or covered with adhesivematerial, whereupon the two sheets may be secure:

gether. The tape 12 inayv comprise a be or string of any suitablematerial capable of gunnned surfaces of the sheets 10 and 11, orconnected theretoby rivets or eyelets such as the eyelets 15.

I I clalrn:

1. A non-transferable dance check having with adhesive one portion ofeach normally secured to a corresponding portion of the secured togetherby the said adhesive.

1 dance check having A non-t-ransfcra a body colnprising two tap ngplies of paper, a time having a-port on oi itslength norinallyintcrposeiil'hetween'a portion of the opposed surfaces of said plies andadhesively securedtherebetween, whereby the pliesare secured in facingrelation, said plies having free unfastened portions, at least one 01'":said portions being coated with adhesive and said tape having a free endadapted to be secured between theunfastened portions of said plies.
